KCC: #454, Stamp your own Background

Hey yall!  Happy Thursday!!  It's time for another Krafty Chicks challenge, and this week's twist is to STAMP YOUR OWN BACKGROUND.  For my card this week, I used the BREWTIFUL set from Miss Ink Stamps.

I colored a couple of the flower clusters and some leaves with Copics, then cut them out.  I also colored the "X{coffee mug}" with Copics and cut it out.  All of these are adhered with pop-dots.

I used the Chemical formula for coffee image and stamped in Stone ink (Reverse Confetti) on white cs.  Love how subtle, but still there this is.

KCC: #452, A Color Palette

Hey yall!  Happy Thursday!  This week's Krafty Chicks challenge is a color palette.  This is one of my favorite color combo's, in fact this IS the color palette for my Craft Loft (although I do have black in my room too!).

For my card this week I paired up an older Mojo Sketch with one of my favorite sets from Miss Ink Stamps called BREWTIFUL.  The "hello" die is from Reverse Confetti (it's been retired but Jen has several other "hello" dies).  I stamped the mug on a piece of patterned paper and cut it out, I also colored in some "coffee".  I stamped the steam on my white base, then stamped the sentiment on the cup, then adhered it with a pop dot.  Voila!

A few orders ago I saw this paper pad from Moda Scraps called SHADES OF LOVE.  The colors in this pad are just fantastic so of course I HAD to have it, lol!  Anyway, it was perfect for this palette challenge.  It incorporated all of the colors perfectly!  This card was easy peasy and super quick!!

How You Bean?

Ok, so I was supposed to be doing laundry today but I decided to play some more, lol.  So I'm still playing with my new BREWTIFUL set (Miss Ink Stamps).  I was so shocked at how big this set is!!  Like not the size of each image but at how many images/sentiments are in the set!

I Started out with painting some watercolor with some Coffee Shimmerz, then I used the TOPPED OFF TAG paired with the BUBBLY TOPPER to make my tag.

I stamped the mug on some patterned paper then stamped the sentiment in the center and colored in the "coffee".  I fussy cut it and popped it up.

I stamped the flower cluster and colored it in with Copics, fussy cut it and popped it up... LOVE this set!!!  Ok, for reals this time, I'm done for today, lol!  Thanks for popping by, hope you have a wonderful week <3

XOXO, Coffee

So there's a new stamp company in town, and they've got some supah cah-ute sets!!!  Have you visited Miss Ink Stamps yet?!?  I've had my eye on a few, but I really just HAD TO HAVE (like yesterday) this set... BREWTIFUL!  I'm pairing up this fun set with the current TAG YOU'RE IT Challenge, COFFEE BREAK.

I could NOT love this set more!  For this simple tag I stamped the "XO" image, one of the flower images and a few leaves and colored them in with Copics.  I fussy cut the flowers and leaves, then I kind of curled the leaves a little.

My tag is a die called GRID STITCHED TAG (Reverse Confetti), and I paired it up with this fun scripty patterned paper.  It's a little hard to see with this photo, but in the centers of the flowers I added some Cinnamon Stickles to the stamens... it adds a fun little sparkle.

I layered the "XO" with some green cs... I think the green really makes the "XO" stand out!  I used the same cs for the tag topper.  After glueing just the base of the leaf down there at the bottom corner, I just couldn't resist adding a cute lil' coffee bean.  Well that's all I've got for now, thanks for popping by hope to see you again soon.
